I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers --- Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."

Glad she didn't know she shouldn't use a Butcher knife. Her instincts were right on.

She didn't answer the door. When he smashed his way into the house, which had to be terrifying, in she didn't hesitate: grabbed the best weapon she had, got between a 26 year old male and her younger siblings, successfully stopped his attack. That was an act of pure selfless courage on her part. I'd bet large she doesn't even think it's unusual, it's how she's wired.
